Low chain luck today. Right after my 8th Sentret, a shiny patch appeared. I only caught that one though, the chain broke at 11.

I'm currently trying to chain the Voltorb that are swarming on route 218, but my highest chain of them has only been 15. :/ Stupid Gastrodon.

Would any of you guys happen to have any tips for me? Oh, and, uh, this may be a dumb question, but how do you reset your PokeRader?


I really want a Shiny Shinx but they arent appearing and ive had high chains oh well.
I have a Shiny Shiftry and Golduck where do you get Seviper.
If you have a Pokemon with the ability "static" in the front of your team, like a Pikachu, it's supposedly easier to chain electric types like Shinx. Just keep trying and you'll get one eventually.

Also, you'll have to use the dongle method to get a Seviper, so if you don't have Sapphire you're out of luck.

I was just recently trying to chain my swarm again, which was absol today. Didn't get much luck. Only got to 8 thanks to those annoying shellos. They just kept popping up everywhere, so I decided to chain those. (shellos) I managed 16! but no shiny patch appeared whatsoever! Also, how do people manage to only get 8 pokemon in a chain, then a shiny patch right after that? It fascinates me!

Two words: Amazing luck.

I need help getting a shiny beldum. My highest chain was 25 but I still have never seen a shiny. I really need some help. Does anybody have some tips so I can catch a shiny beldum?

Here's the deal with Beldum: It will take you forever, even with a Pokemon with Magnet Pull at the front of your party. I ran into two shiny Beldum after about 8 collective hours of chaining. You've got to be very careful and reset a lot, because generally, you'll have to use sparkling patches (as opposed to just...rustling patches) to see in the sandstorm. Also, reset your time to the start of the day (about 4:00) so that you'll have light for a long time. Nighttime in sandstorm = bad.

And, you will need Master Balls. If you look back a few weeks on this thread, you'll read about how those two shiny Beldum are still out there because their catch rate is that of a legendary and the only moves they know are Take Down and Struggle. So you'll have a 9% chance of catching them at 1 HP IF they haven't fainted yet, IF they're sleeping, and IF it's at night and you use a Dusk Ball. I had no Master Balls, I have no shiny Beldum. Get it?

Plusle appeared when I was EV training, so I started chaining it. I've managed to get to 30, and I'm not sure if I should reset or keep going, as the chances may only increase around the mid 30s...

I knew I should have brought Pikachu with me ¬¬

I tried shinx, bidoof, and I was just recently chaining my swarm, electrike. It's hard to chain those electrike, mainly because you only have a 40% chance of seeing one anyway...pfft...I can't seem to find the perfect pokemon for me to chain..

I caught a shiny Plusle by staying at 30 and resetting. I got the chain up to 38, but it broke because of my carelessness >.> But still I never thought I could do it without Static. And I was only resetting for a few minutes ^.^

Try Starly at Lake Verity. I got to 40 very quickly, and found the first shiny in 5 minutes.

I think pink squirrel is too good at this.

I gave Lickitung a try and only got to about 32 I think.

But then again, I just haven't had the patience lately to try, try again after the first couple times my chains break. I think I should drive myself crazy and go after Eevee again.

I am. o.o

Since the last time I posted, I've been getting good at chaining.

EDIT: Updated my sig to reflect this. They're all of my shinies so far. Got the Surskit just a few minutes prior to typing this. =D

I managed to get to 35 Absol's earlier before the chain broke. Meh. I was annoyed but Absol isn't one of my most wanted shinies so I'm not that bothered. Took me nearly two hours to get the chain to that length (though I was browsing online during most it so that'd have slowed me down slightly) so it did feel like a waste to see that time being for nothing. Oh well.

geodudes in bunches

All of my swarms the last few days have been ones I've already captured in shiny form so decided to go after geodudes, which are supposed to be easy. After a few breaks I got to 40 and then the shinies really started rolling in quick! Usually, it takes me an average of ~3,000 steps or about 60 resets between shinies. Well, the first shiny came two resets after I reached 40. The second did take a while, about 163 resets, but then numbers 3 - 8 came after only 8, 16, 17, 1, 8, and 3 resets.

I'm still waiting to see a reset produce two or more shiny patches at the same time. I've heard about that but never seen it. Maybe geodudes somehow produce a higher rate of shiny patches? Have others also encountered higher shiny encounter rates for geodudes?
